Just Press Play - 7:30pm

Wrapping up the shortened holiday week's news is a must for Moby fans. On November 18th, 2003 Moby released Moby 18 B-Sides + DVD and celebrated the event with a screening, Q&A, and signing session at the Apple Store SoHo in New York City. Now, California will "get a dose of the excitement" when Moby hits the Apple Store The Grove in Los Angeles on December 4nd. Moby's CD/DVD contains video footage he shot himself during the 16 month long '18' tour, which concluded in Venice, Italy this past September.

Moby's history with Apple goes way back, as he's been using Macs to make music in his NYC home studio on the Lower East Side for over a decade. He recently contributed a celebrity playlist to the iTunes Music Store, which highlights some of the music and artists that influenced and continue to impact his musical career. The roughly hour-long event will begin at 7pm, and for more information contact the media line at 310.396.6772.

(Due to the extended Thanksgiving weekend, there will be no more updates here until Monday, December 1st. Have a great holiday!)
